Applied Calculus for Scientists and Engineers

A Journey in Dialogues

By: Frank Blume

Applied Calculus For Scientists And Engineers Is An Invitation To An Intellectual Journey Into A Discipline That Has Profoundly Influenced The Development Of Western Civilization For More Than Three Hundred Years. The Author Takes A Functional Pedagogical Approach Through The Use Of A Dialogue-Based Writing Style That Is Uniquely Suited To Make Transparent The Essential Problem-Solving Strategies. As The Text Follows Simplicio And Sophie In Their Struggle To Understand The Teacher's Explanations, Students Will Find That Many Of Their Own Difficulties Are Adequately Addressed And Elegantly Resolved. The Text Is Centered On The Idea That Good Teaching Must Bring Knowledge To Life. True To This Premise, The Author Has Taken Great Care To Present All Mathematical Subjects Within The Context Of Stimulating Applications That Cover A Wide Range Of Topics In Science And Engineering. Also Included Are Engaging Discussions Of The Historical And Philosophical Background That Gave The Discipline Of Calculus Its Present Shape. Indeed, It Is The Central Focus On Applications Combined With A Commitment To Very High Standards Of Expository Writing That Sets This Book Apart From The Competition.

Basic Interests

The Importance of Groups in Politics and in Political Science

By: Frank R. Baumgartner,Beth L. Leech

A generation ago, scholars saw interest groups as the single most important element in the American political system. Today, political scientists are more likely to see groups as a marginal influence compared to institutions such as Congress, the presidency, and the judiciary. Frank Baumgartner and Beth Leech show that scholars have veered from one extreme to another not because of changes in the political system, but because of changes in political science. They review hundreds of books and articles about interest groups from the 1940s to today; examine the methodological and conceptual problems that have beset the field; and suggest research strategies to return interest-group studies to a position of greater relevance. The authors begin by explaining how the group approach to politics became dominant forty years ago in reaction to the constitutional-legal approach that preceded it. They show how it fell into decline in the 1970s as scholars ignored the impact of groups on government to focus on more quantifiable but narrower subjects, such as collective-action dilemmas and the dynamics of recruitment. As a result, despite intense research activity, we still know very little about how groups influence day-to-day governing. Baumgartner and Leech argue that scholars need to develop a more coherent set of research questions, focus on large-scale studies, and pay more attention to the context of group behavior. Their book will give new impetus and direction to a field that has been in the academic wilderness too long.

Mastering Embedded Linux Programming

Create fast and reliable embedded solutions with Linux 5.4 and the Yocto Project 3.1 (Dunfell)

By: Frank Vasquez,Chris Simmonds

Harness the power of Linux to create versatile and robust embedded solutions Key Features Learn how to develop and configure robust embedded Linux devices Explore the new features of Linux 5.4 and the Yocto Project 3.1 (Dunfell) Discover different ways to debug and profile your code in both user space and the Linux kernel Book DescriptionIf you’re looking for a book that will demystify embedded Linux, then you’ve come to the right place. Mastering Embedded Linux Programming is a fully comprehensive guide that can serve both as means to learn new things or as a handy reference. The first few chapters of this book will break down the fundamental elements that underpin all embedded Linux projects: the toolchain, the bootloader, the kernel, and the root filesystem. After that, you will learn how to create each of these elements from scratch and automate the process using Buildroot and the Yocto Project. As you progress, the book will show you how to implement an effective storage strategy for flash memory chips and install updates to a device remotely once it’s deployed. You’ll also learn about the key aspects of writing code for embedded Linux, such as how to access hardware from apps, the implications of writing multi-threaded code, and techniques to manage memory in an efficient way. The final chapters demonstrate how to debug your code, whether it resides in apps or in the Linux kernel itself. You’ll also cover the different tracers and profilers that are available for Linux so that you can quickly pinpoint any performance bottlenecks in your system. By the end of this Linux book, you’ll be able to create efficient and secure embedded devices using Linux.What you will learn Use Buildroot and the Yocto Project to create embedded Linux systems Troubleshoot BitBake build failures and streamline your Yocto development workflow Update IoT devices securely in the field using Mender or balena Prototype peripheral additions by reading schematics, modifying device trees, soldering breakout boards, and probing pins with a logic analyzer Interact with hardware without having to write kernel device drivers Divide your system up into services supervised by BusyBox runit Debug devices remotely using GDB and measure the performance of systems using tools such as perf, ftrace, eBPF, and Callgrind Who this book is for If you’re a systems software engineer or system administrator who wants to learn how to implement Linux on embedded devices, then this book is for you. It's also aimed at embedded systems engineers accustomed to programming for low-power microcontrollers, who can use this book to help make the leap to high-speed systems on chips that can run Linux. Anyone who develops hardware that needs to run Linux will find something useful in this book – but before you get started, you'll need a solid grasp on POSIX standard, C programming, and shell scripting.

Secret Spots--Southwest Florida

By: Frank Sargeant

Catching fish is not tough, if you know where to look. But knowing where to look separates the men from the boys-or the snook from the snookers, as the case may be. This book can go a long way toward helping you know where to look. It's based on more than 25 years of fishing Florida's inshore waters personally, and on the observations of dozens of good friends, many of them professional guides, who have been kind enough to assist and share a few of their secrets. SECRET SPOTS, Sarasota Bay to Marco, covers my personal favorite region of all the waters in Florida, the southwest coast. No where else has the variety and the abundance of fine inshore gamefish, plus the huge acreage of clear, shallow grass flats. - Frank Sargeant

Verbal Encounters

Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse Studies for Roberta Frank

By: Roberta Frank

Due to conquests and colonialism through the centuries, it is not unusual for languages and cultures to be influenced by other, foreign languages and cultures. The modern English language, for example, owes many of its words to Old Norse and Latin, debts dating from contacts made during the Middle Ages. Verbal Encounters is a collection of papers on the cultural and linguistic exchange in Old Norse, Old English, and medieval Latin literature written in honour of Roberta Frank, former University Professor of Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto. The essays feature new scholarship in the field, on topics such as the integral position of Anglo-Latin within Anglo-Saxon culture and literature, constructions of feminine strength and effectiveness in Anglo-Saxon literature, the rise of Latin-based learning in twelfth-century Iceland, medieval Icelandic religious poetry, and the conversion to Christianity in medieval Scandinavia. The essays in Verbal Encounters are not merely a fitting tribute to Roberta Frank, but also strong contributions to current scholarship on medieval literature and culture.
